I wanted to share my first serious project, which I worked on with my director-friend Andreas from Immediate Art Ltd. It's a music video featuring our friend Johan playing his version of Memphis Stomp, a jazzy composition by Dave Grusin.

I was the DP and the colourist on this project, while Andreas was directing and editing. I'll outline our workflow below, for those interested:

Imported back to FCPX for final titles and media export (FCPX only offers 16mbit h264 1080p, but that is more than enough for YouTube)

Things we learnt:

MacDrive is extremely useful when working in cross-platform workflow (allows read/write to OSX formatted HDDs)

FCPX on its own is not good enough to release beyond YouTube: no control over bitrate without external application called Compressor and no ability to import uncompressed AVI easily (MPEG StreamClip software to the rescue!)

take, re-take - rinse repeat - until you have much more footage than you think you need

shot-list planned to the second is a blessing (thanks Andreas)

Enjoy the video and please do offer any feedback that comes to mind - we would appreciate it greatly!
